Reviews Summary
Customers say these swim shorts are comfortable, well-made, and provide excellent coverage for water activities like swimming, paddleboarding, and boating. The built-in liner with grip edges prevents slipping and bunching, while the wide waistband helps keep everything in place. Many appreciate the pockets and versatile styling that works with various tops. Common feedback mentions the shorts run large, with several customers recommending sizing down. While most praise the flattering fit and coverage, some note issues with waist fit or fabric stretching after swimming. The quality fabric washes well and maintains its shape over time.

    The best swim shorts

    This is my second time buying these, I got them in a different color a while back. These are the best for when you just need to throw on a bathing suit but haven’t had time to deal with your bikini line, hahaha. I’ve had other swim shorts without the inner gusset and they’re so uncomfy, it’s wedgie and camel toe city with those. The internal liner is clutch and what makes these so comfy and easy to move around in.

    Almost kept them

    I really liked the bright Violet color and the length was nice. I am 5’8” and 125 lbs. They provided good coverage so nothing hanging out. I felt like I could be active and not worried of anything showing. I didn’t like the pockets on the front. They made it look baggy and a bit frumpy. And I imagine when it’s wet, that baggy look would get worse. With such small pockets, they would not hold much and I didn’t see any functional need for them. So I returned them sadly.

    Versatile color

    Bought these on final sale to go with a top I already had. The fit left me wanting to buy all the colors!
